Hip-Hop star Lil’ Wayne will take part in a historic night for the music business during The 42nd Annual Country Music Awards.

 

The rapper will perform alongside Kid Rock during the Awards show, which takes place tonight (November 12) in Nashville, Tennessee.

 

While African-American “Hick Hop” artist Cowboy Troy graced the CMA stage in 2004, Lil' Wayne is surely the first hardcore Hip-Hop artist to ever set foot on the Awards Shows’ stage.

 

Darius Rucker, lead singer of Hootie & The Blowfish, is also slated to take the stage, where he will perform his latest single “Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It," taken from his #1 country album Learn to Live.

 

The evening is significant because Rucker is only the third African-American in history to top the country charts, behind trailblazers Charley Pride and Ray Charles.

 

“The lineup for this year's CMA Awards is outstanding," said Tammy Genovese, CMA Chief Executive Officer. "We know our viewers will enjoy this mix of Country Music artists and celebrities."

 

In addition to the highly anticipated performances by Kid Rock, Lil' Wayne and Darius Rucker, fans will be treated to performances by The Eagles, George Strait, Taylor Swift, Rodney Atkins, Brooks & Dunn, Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney and others.

 

The 42nd Annual Country Music Awards air tonight on ABC at 8:00 PM Est.

First off Weezy is OVERRATED.  Carter III was hot because of production and co-rappers.  His mixtapes were hot because of the same thing.  He's NEVER been a LYRACIST.  The Country Crowd is filled with Red Necks and Republicans.  Kid Rock is white trash and once those crackers get a whiff of Weezy's high gremlin ass, they're really going to think the U.S. is going to hell.  First Obama, now Weezy?  Lucky for Weezy, he doesn't count to them and is not on their radar.

You really need to acknowledge the difference between a 'historic achievement' and 'personal achievement'. Acknowledging anything that a black person does as a historic achievement is belittling black people. Barack becoming prez - HISTORIC ACHIEVEMENT!! Black person who hardly any1 knows (except hillbillies and rednecks) gaining no. 1 country single - PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT!!

i agree, im starting to think this is a black expierence website instead of a hiphop website. they talk about anything black which i dont mind but when ur non black like me and represent hiphop to the fullest with no boundaries it seems kind of bias on allhiphop's part

Man google people you don't know before you open your simple narrow minded ass trap!  Darius Rucker is/was the lead singer of hootie and the blowfish they only sold about 100million ablums worldwide in the 90's.  It's not only an achievement for him to be black but to switch his rock style up and go country is the real story.  By the way his new single is iigggght for those who really like music and is not so narrow and simple as yourself.  Damn you would think it would be ok to exterminate ignorant ass niccas now that the president black.  I guess not but please get some culture. PLEASE.

Oh but on the subject, why in the hell is Lil Junky on the CMA's

DC-King said:

@DruMANATI
homie, u takin it too personal..the FACT of the matter is that Hip Hop, Rap, or whatever u wanna call it is an AFRICAN AMERICAN dominated industry/genre...similiar to the way Country is a WHITE dominated industry/genre...

as far as the news itself, the CMA is basically pimpin the lil nigga for pub/ratings...otherwise why would u perform a certain genre of music at an awards show SPECIFICALLY honoring a totally different genre...

The part where you said he didn't make it in rock is not accurate. Niggaz was fuckin with kid rock back in the day in the mid west region, the only reason he didn't blow was because Jive wanted him to be on some Vanilla Ice and he wasn't having it, so they dropped him. He switched to rock and had a slow start, but eventually, white people cought on and he sold millions.

Respect his grind?  Maybe when he starts showing up to shows on time and putting out shit worth hearing I'll respect his grind.  Showing up everywhere and sounding like shit and acting like a pathetic drug addict is easy fuck I could do that.

@ Boss Up.....COSIGN 100%
I would have watched Snoop any day over Lil' Wayne, dude didnt even do anything but give the country crowd more of a reason to hate Hip Hop.
Now that Snoop joint is sick, and who knows why they didnt get Snoop on there to represent....maybe because they knew he would have left a good look on the stage, instead of using Wayne, the only thing Wayne was missing was a porch, a wooden shack, a tire on the roof and 3 women dressed in white and red stripped dresses doing laundry.
I think the joke was on Wayne on this one.

UTSAreppin said:

@ Blazepurp

I respect his grind and the amount of work he puts in, but I don't respect  his abilities as a rapper.  Never really been a fan of Wayne so what you said doesn't pertain to me.. he didn't hold down hip hop for 2 years, he put out trash for 2 years..

anybody find it suspect that he does'nt show up to HIP-HOP concerts where he's heavily promoted and due to perform and doesn't show up....but he can go to an award show and from what everybody posted "stand in the background and pretend to play guitar".......

i wonder how much money was involved??

this confrims it for me Wayne than sold out and dosn't give a fuck about rapping anymore....he's found his niche with that oreo nigga Rockstar image(swagger jacking whiteboys style and shit) and blew up...now he only cares bout appealing to his newfound cracker fanbase that loves his new shitty music...he knows he can say anything and his these white teens will eat it up so his music is getting progressively worse cause of it he's not even trying...

..i used to anticipate music from dudes but now know Wayne music makes me sick in my stomach and i get migrains listenting to his nigga gibbersih/wack raps and T-Pain impersonations...this nigga sings more than he raps damn near now and horribly at it ...How does Wayne get a pass for this shit but Rule was shitted on for it? Even Rule music wasn't as bad as the bullshit Wayne putting out today.

i can't count hom many songs thing nigga than fucked up with his half asses verse/whiny crooning or he got outshined on his own shit.....I'm officailly off the Wayne bandwagon now......this nigga is a disgrace to my state...fuck Lil Lame

@ NewYorkKidd -

Wayne knows what we all know - he'll never be considered one of the greats because he lyrically isn't good enough.  Wayne's good for a hook at best.  His 1 bar co-appearances are 90% garbage.

What Wayne is doing, he's going the tortured rockstar route to cement his future.  He thinks he's the next Kurt Cobain and is carving out a legacy of drugs, tats, no-shows, drama, etc. to qualify.  Wayne still doesn't realize that white people uphold their own (case in point Britney).  While we know KC was nothing but a spoiled drugged out rocker, whites look at him like a young rockstar cut down in his prime from drugs.  Those same whites will look at Wayne like another uneducated niglet that degraded women in his music, wasn't a role model for kids, carried guns, used drugs and was prone to violence, died by the hands of his own people.

This is the creation of media and uneducated music fans hyping up someone and making them overrated.  Now you have a monster in the form of a whack lyrical gremlin.

Wayne needs to give it up and just accept his position and and play it.

Wayne just jumped the shark.

Once the cracka ass crackas get hold of your music, you have about 2 years before everyone says your shit is wack and only suburban white kids listen to it.

Word to Curtis.

BedStuy1 said:

Aside from Darius Rucker (Hootie) that was already mentioned, this is no "HIP HOP ACHIEVEMENT".

If you're looking at it as a BLACK ACHIEVEMENT and not a HIP HOP win - it wasn't the CMA's, but BEYONCE performed IRREPLACEABLE on the Grammy's with that top Country group.  They re-recorded and made it a country record.  Also, isn't Snoop scheduled to perform?  Cowboy Troy is black - he's not hip hop but he performed and hosted the Country American Idol.

Let's see if Wayne goes through their metal detectors because they're damn sure going to check him and his crew to get in there.  And if he gets in, I hope he takes a shower because he's going to scare the hell outta them with those matted ass fake dreads and his usual drugged out look.
